How to offer
Serve in a bowl with a soft spoon, or as finger-food slices for BLW babies. Start with a small teaspoon portion.
Storage
Best served immediately. If storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for up to 1 day. The surface may brown slightly — this is safe to eat.
